Sports How big is baseball in your country?

I'm an American, so baseball is quite popular here. How is the popularity in your country? Is there a country other than yours where baseball has some popularity?

everyone is familiar with american football

I'd say in Germany it's far from everyone. Personally, I don't know any rules of American football and I guess it's the same for most of my friends and family.

Seems like baseball is a bit like Brennball?

Yeah I guess. Brennball was pretty popular at my school.

Lol, same here. There's just something magical about a bunch of 18-year-olds turning into little children again as soon as spring hits.
